Cardinal Plaid Explorer Shirt
The best garments are the ones you don’t have to think twice about. From family gatherings to a chilly morning hike, to wrapping up the night with your buddies at the bar, a solid, well tailored wool overshirt just gets the job done. Rendered in hefty 13-oz wool and finished in classic plaid colorways, The Explorer is a true wardrobe workhorse that’s heavy enough to serve as solid insulation in the winter, and light enough to rock solo in the spring and fall. Design-wise, The Explorer is about as simple as it gets—two patch pockets (plus a handy internal pocket), classic donut-style buttons, and our signature California collar. All of the form, all of the function, none of the fuss.
